I hate to be short but it is NOW time for a good transmission mechanic to look at it. He may be able to make a couple of adjustments and smooth it ouit. Good luck. Pops

your modulator valve is made for that purpose . it connects to the lower end of the transmission it is vacumn controlled. what it does is when its time for the tranny to shift into another gear it keeps it from shifting hard . have that replaced and you will be fine. the part isnt over 15 bucks at the most.

take it to a tranny shop tell them what you have done and they will be able to help you, sounds like a vacum modulator to me.

FLUSH OR REPLACE TRANS COOLER WITH AUXILLARY COOLER.
